Registry problem: Windows ecountered an error when backing up the system registry. Make sure you have enough space on the drive for three copies of the file "C:\windows\system.dat This error should not cause any loss of information, but if space is not made on the drive, you may experience additional problems.

The unformated long version dealy
Alright I've recently accquired an old Toshiba laptop (94-96 era...) and when I boot the computer up, after 95 loads etc, it brings up an error message saying "windows networking: the following error occurred while loading the device VNETSUP Error 6107: Could not set up instance data" I turn my head and click "ok" and it gives me an error that concerns me a bit more. It says "Registry problem: Windows ecountered an error when backing up the system registry. Make sure you have enough space on the drive for three copies of the file "C:\windows\system.dat This error should not cause any loss of information, but if space is not made on the drive, you may experience additional problems. Please fix the problem and restart your computer" A little concerned at this point I hit "OK" again. Windows finishes booting normally. The clock is correct and the only desktop icon is "My Computer". I decide to work on the problem at hand, and I double click it. Nothing. I hit enter. Nothing. I right click start in order to get into "my computer" but no window pops up. I go into control panel, but not only do i get the error "Access to the specified device, path, or file is denied" but i can't go anywhere else in the explorer without getting the "illegal op" error. At THIS point, I get the blue screen of death and am returned to the desktop. Exploring the start bar, I find that all the icons are missing and everything has .ink at the end of it.. I'm a mite confused... can someone help me?

I would suggest reformatting your drive and reinstalling your OS. Don't think anythign else will cure this. Sorry.

If you have a burner, I can stick Win 98 cab files on my server for you to get, let me know, then give me 5 minutes to get it set up ok? I can also give you 2k if you wants..

YEY! -hugs jaredy- oh wait. win 98. -pouts-

Does it have enough juice for 98? If not Kazaa 95. They don't sell 95 anymore, so your best bet is a friend that has 95, or kazza it or ebay it. I Think that if it will run it, to put 98 on, because it is 98.
